Schibeci Stefania
Jean Cocteau teorico del cinema
br. L'interesse di Jean Cocteau è interamente rivolto alla «poesie», come strumento principe per conoscere e rappresentare il mondo, soprattutto quello interiore, ed è proprio in questa chiave che bisogna leggere anche ir suo cinema. Il suo approdo alla «dixième muse» è assolutamente naturale per un artista a tutto tondo come lui, che non ha mai operato una netta distinzione tra le arti, promuovendo una straordinaria intermedialità ed esplorando i tutti i tipi di linguaggio tino a scoprire le potenzialità del connubio tra immagine e parola in questa «véritable art des poétes». I suoi film, intervallati spesso da un notevole lasso - di tempo, si presentano come degli «objets difficiles à ramasser», secondo la celebre espressione di cui il poeta stesso si serve per definire le sue opere, in quanto è difficile inferirli a pieno in una corrente artistica e sono piuttosto criptici, se non si conosce a fondo la sua concezione del cinema. Infatti Cocteau può essere a buon,diritto inserito nel novero dei teorici del cinema, in quanto, pur non avendo mai scritto un vero e proprio trattato sull'argomento, in numerose sue opere si evincono i principi guida della sua riflessione sul nuovo medium, che si ritrovano poi applicati nella sua filmografia.

Cocteau Jean
Disegni. Ediz. illustrata
ill., br. Nel 1923, a 36 anni, Jean Cocteau pubblica il suo primo libro di disegni. Il poeta ha ritratto i suoi amici Raymond Radiguet, Pablo Picasso, Erik Satie, Francis Poulenc, ma anche numerose scene di vita quotidiana parigina, i balletti russi di Nijinski, allegorie, caricature, immagini poetiche. Cocteau si rivela un bozzettista pieno di talento, ma soprattutto un artista capace di cogliere l'essenza dei volti, dei comportamenti, delle debolezze umane, con la profondità spietata di Georg Grosz e Otto Dix, ma anche con tutta la sua infinita, morbida dolcezza.

Schembri Pascal
Jean Cocteau. La squisitezza del mondo
ill., br. Se c'è qualcosa che Cocteau sembra aver avuto fin dal principio, quelle sono le idee chiare. Abile nell'individuare il talento e lasciarsene espandere, amava la vita oltre misura per le sue immense opportunità creative. L'amicizia con Picasso perseguita con caparbietà, l'affinità elettiva con Proust, il confronto con André Gide e la simpatia per Edith Piaf, la collaborazione con Blaise Cendrars e l'amore per Jean Marais e Raymond Radiguet, l'ammirazione per Erik Satie e Igor' Stravinskij, il teatro alla Comédie-Francaise e il cinema con "La bella e la bestia", l'affetto per Max Jacob e la vicinanza transculturale con Kiki de Montparnasse: tutto nella vita descritta da Schembri ruota intorno a occasioni imperdibili colte al volo. Da Djagilev e i Balletti Russi a Man Ray e Modigliani, da Ezra Pound e T.S. Eliot a Guillaume Apollinaire, passando per l'ammirazione di Proust e il disprezzo di Breton, il Dorian Gray della cultura francese indaga ogni forma artistica dell'età d'oro parigina del Novecento, superando le guerre, lottando con la dipendenza dall'oppio e ritraendo la «morte al lavoro» in una battaglia all'ultimo sangue contro l'ottusità degli insensibili. Cocteau racchiude in sé la meraviglia proteiforme dell'artista totale: poeta, saggista, drammaturgo, sceneggiatore, disegnatore, librettista, regista cinematografico, pubblicitario, decoratore, imitatore, talent scout e attore... Esplorando trasversalmente tutte le forme ed esaltandone il meglio, non rimane intrappolato in nessuna di esse, anticipando il genio e la factory di Andy Warhol. Di classe elevata, si sottrae a ogni classificazione attribuendo alla creazione artistica l'unica vera nobiltà. Laddove «il genio è una questione di dosaggio e di lenta evaporazione». Introduzione di Marco Ongaro.

Scarlini L. (cur.); Dotti M. (cur.)
Cocteau A-Z
ill., br. "Il più grande capolavoro della letteratura è solo un dizionario fuori posto." (Jean Cocteau, Le Potomak, 1919) Jean Cocteau ha attraversato il Novecento con grazia inusuale e leggerezza incommensurabile, ritrovandosi fatalmente in tutti gli incroci più rilevanti, senza mai diventare istituzionale. Romanziere, drammaturgo, sceneggiatore, cineasta, performer, disegnatore, uomo di moda e costume, autore di articoli, canzoni, testi per il cabaret, ma soprattutto poeta. A questa personalità caleidoscopica che ha attraversato, innovato e plasmato le arti del Novecento, Electa dedica il quinto volume della collana Enciclopedia A-Z, dopo Rodari, Savinio, Steinberg, Woolf. Il volume ripercorre, attraverso 124 lemmi, la libertà, la vita, le arti e l'unicità di Cocteau. Cocteau raccoglie su di sé un'infinità di ruoli in tutte le arti, con una voracità che è già postmoderna, nel tentativo di ridefinire personaggi e identità. Il primo reagente della sua sensibilità è la danza e, subito dopo, la performance. In scena è attore di se stesso, non soltanto un personaggio della sua scrittura scenica, ma il portavoce del suo verbo, la più vera incarnazione di sé, inseguita per tutta la vita. Cocteau A-Z racconta aspetti noti e altri meno frequentati dell'esistenza dell'artista: le corride, il giornalismo, la boxe, a fianco di Panama Al Brown, il teatro, Edith Piaf e Coco Chanel, l'opera, la danza, la provocazione, fino all'assunzione nell'ufficialità, al momento di diventare accademico di Francia, seppur insignito con una favolosa spada ornata di gioielli disegnata da lui stesso e da Cartier. Non si contano le opere, i progetti, le mostre: un vortice creativo che esplode a inizio secolo e si dipana nei decenni successivi. Il volume è arricchito da illustrazioni e fotografie, talvolta rare, per narrare uno dei protagonisti "inevitabili" per definire lo sviluppo delle arti del Novecento.

Cocteau Jean & Jean Tronquet
Festival du Film Maudit. Biarritz 29 Juillet-5 Août 1949
Unpaginated 54 pp. volume produced in conjunction with the 1949 French film festival organized by the film club "Objectif 49" under the presidency of Jean Cocteau with the help of of Cinematheque Française with a jury composed of Cocteau René Clément Jean Grémillon Raymong Queneau Alexandre Astruc and Claude Mauriac each of whom contributed a text to the catalog program with illustrations and vignettes by Arthur Rimbaud Pablo Picasso Victor Hugo Charles Baudelaire Cocteau and others and reproductions from photographs. Some extremely minor toning to a few pages. Oblong 8vo. Original tie-bound wrpps. very minor dust-staining. Paris Editions Mazarine 1949. The term 'film maudit' "cursed film" was coined for the legendary 1949 Festival du Film Maudit held in Biarritz and organized by a group of writers filmmakers and critics united under the label "Nouvelle Critique". A jury led by Jean Cocteau curated and honored a group of films thought of as overlooked at the time. The term was also applied to a number of deliberately shocking and outré films at the festival. In writing about the festival Cocteau said "The time has come to honor the masterpieces of film art which have been buried alive and to sound the alarm. Cinema must free itself from slavery just like the many courageous people who are currently striving to achieve their freedom. Art which is inaccessible to young people will never be art." The festival had long-lasting effects on the intellectual appreciation of film and helped created the phenomenon of French cinephilia. Scarce; as of December 2019 WorldCat locates only three copies of this volume in North American institutions. unknown books

B&W photographs "This is a day-to-day account of how the film La Belle et la Bête Beauty and the Beast was made. Its interest however does not lie solely in the technical details of film-making but also in what is implicit in every line; how an artist goes about creating his work. The story of how Jean Cocteau mastered the giant dream-machine of the film and shaped his unit into a tool is exciting and full of a special kind of information which is only occasionally vouchsafed the casual reader." .
